<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 12449018, member: 36&quot;]The date on the back was the date of the battle. People went in afterward and took wooden bits and made them into souvenirs for a good 20 years after the battle.&nbsp; THe crack is likely due to humidity changes, or the wood being too green when it was worked.&nbsp; The&nbsp; backing (and those 20th century nails) came into the picture, ahem, much later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
